Fish
Records and Awards

Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recognizes fishing excellence through
its Angler Recognition Program. The program maintains state record lists for
public and private waters and water body records for all public
lakes, rivers, and bays. Junior Anglers (under 17 years of age) compete
in a separate division. The program also issues certificates for other types
of angler achievements.

Special Notice: Due to COVID-19, certificate processing is on hold. All submittals will still be accepted regardless of the deadline.
